Lake Pleasant in Maricopa and Yavapai Counties, Arizona
This lake has 8 Layers or 15 Layers for HD Version
Lake Pleasant is a 10,000-acre reservoir on the Agua Fria River in Maricopa and Yavapai Counties, Arizona, sitting at 1,700 feet elevation with 116 miles of cove-lined desert shoreline and a maximum depth of 170 feet. Originally impounded by the Carl Pleasant Dam in 1927 and dramatically expanded in 1994 by the New Waddell Dam — one of the largest roller-compacted concrete dams in the world — the lake is fed by both the Agua Fria River and the Central Arizona Project Canal. Largemouth and Striped Bass, Channel Catfish, White Crappie, and Bluegill draw anglers year-round, while wild burros, bobcats, bald eagles, and great blue herons share the rugged desert shoreline with boaters, kayakers, and scuba divers exploring submerged remnants of old ranch structures beneath the surface.
Located just 35 miles northwest of downtown Phoenix near Peoria, Lake Pleasant anchors Lake Pleasant Regional Park — one of the premier outdoor recreation destinations in the entire Sonoran Desert. Two full-service marinas — Pleasant Harbor and Scorpion Bay — provide boat rentals, launch ramps, camping, and lakeside dining, while the Yavapai Point Trail rewards hikers with sweeping views across the lake and surrounding desert canyon landscape. The lake sits within easy reach of the communities of Peoria, Surprise, and Glendale in the booming northwest Phoenix metro corridor.
A laser-cut wooden map of Lake Pleasant makes a breathtaking and bold piece of wall art for any Arizona lake home, Sonoran Desert retreat, or Phoenix-area outdoor enthusiast's space. The natural wood top layer traces every dramatic cove and inlet of this vast desert reservoir's 116 miles of rugged shoreline in stunning detail, while the light-to-dark blue gradient layers beautifully capture the lake's striking 170-foot depth against the stark beauty of the surrounding desert landscape. A handcrafted gift perfectly suited for Lake Pleasant boaters, Phoenix-area anglers, and anyone proud to call this spectacular Arizona waterway their home lake.

The difference between standard and HD maps is the number of layers. Standard maps have 1 land layer and 7 water layers. The HD lake maps have 1 land layer and 14 water layers. So twice the detail. The HD Maps are limited to Extra Large, XX Large, and Gigantic sizes only. On the smaller sizes the depth change of the wood is too extreme and you end up losing detail.
